93 525 Paul's CList Finds

[93 525 Paul]

I've been seeing a TON of wonderful E34s on Craigslist around here and I just have to post them up.
If this one were any other color I'd buy it. OMG a 540 with 95,000 miles in sunny San Luis Obispo.

Hey, what's wrong with the color! LOL Actually, my paint has looked terrible for the last 7-8 years. Cracked/scratched clearcoat and now it's starting to peel.

Edit: thought I had pic of my car in my signature... evidently not. But, it is the cashmere beige like (or similar) to that one.

This 90 525 listing doesn't have much detail but the body looks super for the price

Price is high but just another clean E34 this one a 95 525 with 160k

Again not much detail but how could you go wrong on a clean E34 for just $1500?

I see WAY more clean good running 525s around here than 535s but here is a clean, straight reliable 92 535 with 200k mi on it for just $1800

And those are just in the last couple weeks here in my town. Crazy.

The E34s in the midwest at those prices come with lots of rust, banged up bodies or trashed interiors. I would jump on any
those cars at those prices if closer to me.

Fix it and keep it, these cars sell for less than beat up riced out Hondas. I wonder why the stomp test isn't working? Could very well be relating to the DME.

[genphreak]

Yep. Bad relay, fuel pump, crank sensor, oxidised connector someplace. Just troubleshoot and isolate... :-)

[93 525 Paul]

Keep it and fix it. BTW when my crank sensor went, I got a crank but no start situation. When my fuel pump went it was a crank no start.
Oh, btw, how about a CL E34 M5???

Anybody up for a two owner '92 525 manual with just 125,000 miles on her?

Nice, the M50 powered ones are just superb as a manual. Nicely balanced, and bullet proof to boot.

Get a problem with the motor and the solution is easy, just switch to a M54/m56 out of a later an 3, 5, Z or X series... even an N motor would be doable.

Back to the lovely E34, a green one with almost 200k on the clock. Seems like a really fair price with an honest description of her.

Nine years after I started this thread, there are still wonderful E34s out there...
The CL link above takes you to a white two owner 92 525i with just 90k on the clock. Incredible.
